Exceptions to the Dress Code

While the safety and appropriateness of student attire will always be warranted and enforced during school and school-related functions, the uniformity of colors policy need not be adhered to during physical education classes, extracurricular, athletic, academic, dramatic, or musical events or ceremonies unless required by the staff member supervising the event. Other appropriate attire requirements may be made for such events by faculty sponsors and/or Administration. Further exceptions to the dress code will be determined and implemented by Administration (e.g., dress-up/dress-down day, school spirit days, etc.).
